There are three main types of energy storage currently commercially available in Canada: Storage is playing an increasingly important role in the electricity system by improving grid reliability and power quality, and by complementing variable renewable energy sources (VRES) like wind and solar.

However, that leaves a wide gap to close to realize Canada’s goals and to reach the full potential for energy storage in the country. Even the low end of the estimated potential for storage is equivalent to Manitoba’s entire installed generating capacity as of 2020. Today’s national installed capacity of energy storage is less than 1GW.
The cost of a battery energy storage system depends on its size, type, and capacity. Below is a general breakdown: Lithium-Ion Batteries: $10,000–$20,000 (including installation). Lead-Acid Batteries: $5,000–$10,000 (cheaper but less efficient). Lithium-Ion Batteries: $50,000–$200,000 or more, depending on system size.
BESS is the fastest growing energy storage technology in Canada and is also the dominant storage technology in terms of capacity and number of sites. All but four projects proposed to be commissioned by 2030 are battery storage, with two CAES and two PHS projects also proposed.
